This is about killing off the ability, the constitutional right, to come together in a union," he said.
"The governor's staff apparently called around to see the membership of public unions, specifically teachers," Spar said. "It's requiring every year for locals that don't get to 60% to go through that process, which is time, money that will have to pay for all of that, and taxpayer money," Spar said."We think that's a low number," Spar said.
